Care & Safety Maintenance
To maintain the thermal integrity and the satin finish of your Airspeed suit, it is highly recommended to have the garment professionally dry cleaned by a specialist familiar with fire-retardant racing apparel. Avoid the use of bleach or fabric softeners, as these can degrade the Nomex® fibers and compromise the suit's fire-retardant properties. Always inspect the stretch panels and seams for any signs of wear or fuel saturation before every event to ensure you are fully protected.
